I'm telling you folks, this picture and ones like it need to go viral.

This is what needs to be spread around, this would be far more effective than youtube videos, why? It's Simple! Powerful!

We have to remember the attention span of the american voter here, no thinking is required with this, this just hits you in the gut, OBVIOUS TRUTH.

I've used this picture today in a forum where I've been debating Ron Paul for months, against shills and trolls and a lot of average joes passing by listening in.
The response was nothing short of stunning in it's power. No argument I've ever framed has been as powerful as this one picture, and I frame some pretty good arguments.

A few who have listened in the past who have been indifferent to the message have gotten on board after seeing this. The trolls who have hounded me, ran away! speechless!

Simple! Powerful! It strikes the heart and leaves a lasting impression in a way that cannot be undone!

We need to spread this image as much as we can, and more importantly learn the lesson it teaches us on the power of a simple, emotional message for future projects.

Thank You Dees!

yes, fix the errors, obviously

I know we love this as an inspirational type of thing, but this isn't about us.

Trust me if you haven't done so yet, show this to an undecided voter, you will be stunned at the response.

In all the things I've done to spread the message, nothing has produced instant and concrete converts as fast as this.

This is nothing short of a magic wand.

It might not convert the ones steadfastly opposed to us, but the amazing thing I've discovered is, in almost every case, it's made them just shut up and walk away.

amazing, amazing.

Might as well throw in Hillary and Obama and Edwards on the left and the neo-cons on the right with Paul in the center. You could skip Edwards and Huck and have five.. those two are just fringe longshots anyways

Maybe redo a version for the GE, but the power is in the simplicity, nothing should change except getting Huck's name right.

I'm no pyscologist, but the simple layout, which just really became possible tonight since Rudy dropped out, is key. I think even 5 candidates shown would be too much.

I think if anything, this photo will tell you in less than two seconds who it is possible to convert and who is not.

A masterstroke of conveying a message through art.

First the mind sees the most hawkish candidate McCain, coupled with the most painful reality, our dead soldiers, then we see the uncompassionate christian, coupled with the reality no one ever sees, the impact of our reckless war waging as a mother cradles child covered in blood.

Next billionare Romney, recklessly promoting the flashy horror of war to the backdrop of a huge explosion.

Within a second and a half the convertee is set up for the final blow.

The eternal hope and promise of peace, as a wife joyfully greets a returning husband, coupled with the only one who can make that possible. Ron Paul.

POWERFUL, POWERFUL, POWERFUL,

Nice Picture. I just added it to the Ron Paul Pic. thread (for use in future YouTube Videos)
Except Huckabee is spelled with an "a" and not an "e"

If anyone has any additional pics. which they think should be added, please post them in the below thread. :)

This is just stunning.
My only complaint is that the Democratic "front runners" are not there as well, as they are just as bad, if not worse war mongering, socialist sociopaths.
Ron Paul is our only hope. Remaining Democrats, Republicans, makes no difference.
Ron Paul or Eternal War and hardship.
That is it.

Hey "Cheese"
Mike Huckabee's name is still spelled incorrectly in this pic. :)

This pic is pretty good, except it is a little fuzzy around Mike Huckabee's name. (Another patriot worked this photo for us.)

I don't know if he did it on purpose or not? (Notice Huckabee is misspelled Huckebee in the image.)
So the above image can't be resized until it is fixed properly. Until then I guess the below image will have to do. Many thanks to the Patriot who resized & photo shopped the image. :)

Blow it up poster size and display it outside your polling place on primary day when you are there passing out literature. Beyond the required distance from the door of course.

See, the entire point of this will now be lost because you didn't even know Mike Huckabee's name.

You have to understand when you are marketing, if you don't know a key factor in what you are selling, everything else you put forth is pointless and worthless. You don't even know Huckabee's first name, so automatically you know his position on everything?

You have to be better at this.

Hey "We can do it" can you please fix the original photo and spell "Mike Huckabee" correctly. The photo is a great idea and people want to send it out. But not if the name is spelled incorrectly.
